FI and I saw an amazing house yesterday and immediately made an offer for under what they were asking. Agent came back today and rejected the offer, also letting us know they had 2 showings today and were expecting an offer from a previous showing today also.
We just told our agent to change the offer to full asking price and a quick close. It is a lot of money, and FI and I have already decided that if someone outbids us and offers over asking price we will walk away. Cross your fingers and tell me it's going to be ok.
UPDATE: Just heard back, our offer was accepted! AHHHH! If all goes well we close Dec 23rd!
NOW WITH PICS! (Please don't quote and/or skinsuit)
Oh man, your market seems really hot! Over full price and in November? I think you mentioned that's why you are looking in the winter, right? I hope you get it because I want to see some pics!
